  Took my first breath where the muddy 

  Brazos spills into the gulf of Mexico 

  Where the skyline's colored by chemical plants 

  T'put bread on the table of the working man 

  Where the working man does his best to provide 

  Safety and shelter for kids and a wife 

  Givin' a little of his soul every day 

  Making over time to keep the wolves away

  Well I was barely thirteen when the company man 

  Tried to dig my daddy's grave 

  It happened on a French owned tanker ship 

  Spilling poison into Galveston Bay 

  Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes 

  Silenced any mortal cries 

  Cold and the grip of death stinging pain 

  He fought like hell to keep the wolves away

  For the next few years dad was sick as a dog 

  But he made a recovery just to spite the odds 

  Settlement came and we moved out of town 

  Where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds 

  Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties 

  But the moneys running out and he's pinching for pennies 

  So I'm goin' for broke with every song I play 

  'Cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away
